In theory, the mods are accountable to the other mods. However, there is a mod culture that tolerates certain transgressions in the name of "mods are users too" and the name of "yeah but that member is a moron, so in this case it's okay".
Other than that, mods are accountable in threads like this one, which seldom achieve much in terms of actual policy, but might at least make people go "oh, maybe I was being kind of a dick" and cause them to knock it off for a month or two.
